The DS55 is Zebra's compact fixed-mount imager and its named successor to the DS457, which Zebra stopped selling on 29 December 2024. Zebra also offers a DS55 for Labs version.
Compact, with standard mounts
The scanner measures 3.0 × 5.6 × 7.2 cm and weighs 65.2 g. It has a standard 1/4-20 camera mount, and Zebra offers a gooseneck stand and a 3-in-1 mount for a PC display, a desk or a wall.
Wide view for hands-free scanning
A 48° × 30° field of view with full 360° roll tolerance and ±60° skew and pitch means users need not line up the code carefully. Swipe speed is up to 254 cm per second for a 13 mil UPC in optimised mode.
Reads very small codes
Minimum resolution is 3 mil for Code 39 and Code 128 and 5 mil for Data Matrix and QR.
Trigger or presentation mode
Run it hands-free in presentation mode, or under host or trigger control for longer reach. In trigger mode a 13 mil UPC reads from 4.1 cm to 62.7 cm; in presentation mode, from 4.1 cm to 35.6 cm.
Captures images and text too
Besides 1D and 2D barcodes it reads OCR-A, OCR-B and MICR, and captures images at 200 PPI on a 15.2 × 9.5 cm document held at 17.8 cm, saved as Bitmap, JPEG or TIFF.
Easy to configure and integrate
Set it up with 123Scan, manage it remotely with Scanner Management Service, and build it into your own application with the Scanner SDK. Allmark can integrate it with your kiosk, billing or ERP software.

For buyers in India
Using the DS55 in India
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the DS55. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.
Reads phone QR tickets hands-free; set distance by trial
The DS55 suits kiosks where visitors show a QR e-ticket, booking or visitor pass on a phone. Zebra's DS55 reference guide has a Mobile Phone/Display Mode, on by default for hands-free reading. Set the kiosk's reading distance from trials with your own tickets: Zebra's 2.3-35.6 cm presentation range for a 20 mil QR is for printed codes, and it gives no figure for screens.
One kiosk scanner for EAN-13, QR and Data Matrix
One DS55 in a price-check kiosk reads both barcodes and QR codes: UPC/EAN, QR and Data Matrix, with 2D codes down to 5 mil.
Check the temperature inside the kiosk in summer
Check the temperature inside the kiosk enclosure, not just the weather: a closed kiosk standing in the sun can run hotter than the air around it. The DS55 works from -20 °C to 50 °C and is sealed to IP54, so mount it behind the kiosk window or under a hood outdoors.
Runs from the kiosk PC's USB port
Power the DS55 from the kiosk PC's USB port. It draws 360 mA at 5 V in presentation mode. Zebra's DS55 guide lists external 5 V supplies only with US, EU/UK and China plugs. If you connect over RS232 and the host does not supply 5 V, ask about an India power option when you request a quote.

About our product information
Units already in use; no longer sold since December 2024
Exploring for a different use?
If your job differs from what the DS55 is built for, this Zebra model may fit it better:
Buyers who want a scanner that sits on the counter rather than one built into a kiosk or machine often look at the
Zebra DS9308 (presentation scanner on a tilting base).
The DS55 price depends on the cable or accessories you need and the quantity. We do not publish prices: share the model, quantity and city, and we send a written quotation with current pricing and
delivery time, replying within one working day.
Should we buy the DS457 or the DS55?
Zebra stopped selling the DS457 on 29 December 2024 and names the DS55 as its successor. Zebra support for the DS457 continues until 27 February 2030. The DS55 has a higher-resolution 1280 × 800 sensor, a wider field of view and weighs 65.2 g instead of 111 g. Zebra says the DS55 has similar dimensions and matching mounting-hole positions, but the DS457 used a 9-pin D-sub connector, so plan new cables when you replace one.
Can the DS55 be built into a kiosk or machine?
Yes, that is what it is designed for. It measures 3.0 × 5.6 × 7.2 cm, has a standard 1/4-20 camera mount and runs on 5 V from the host or an external supply. Zebra's Scanner SDK lets your developers control it from your own application. Share your enclosure drawing and reading distance when you ask for a quote.
Can it read QR codes on mobile phones, such as e-tickets?
Yes. The DS55 decodes QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec and other 2D codes, and Zebra's reference guide includes a Mobile Phone/Display Mode for codes on phones and screens. Zebra publishes ranges only for printed codes, so try it with your own tickets or app screens before a large rollout.
Can the DS55 read very small codes, such as labels on electronic parts?
Yes, within a short distance. Zebra rates it down to 3 mil for Code 39 and Code 128 and 5 mil for Data Matrix and QR. A 3 mil Code 39 reads from 7.1 cm to 14.2 cm and a 5 mil Code 128 from 5.3 cm to 24.4 cm in trigger mode, so mount it close to the part. Send us a sample label when you ask for a quote.
Can Allmark install the DS55 and connect it to our software?
Yes. We install the DS55 at your site, set it to send data the way your ERP, warehouse or billing software expects (our own warehouse management system included) and train your team. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
